Offering up my black dial DeepQuest 3000m. This is the summit of the "toolwatch" mountain, and arguably one of the finest dive watches ever made. Everything about this watch screams quality and durability. From the second it touches your hands, you know you've acquired something special!

The DeepQuest is machined from a solid block of titanium, with the caseback integral to the case, reducing any chance of water through a faulty seal. The crown protectors, again integral to the case, are substantial and solid. They look imposing, but the watch wears SO comfortably with no "crown dig" due to the excellent design!

The bezel is directly screwed to the case, reducing the number of areas which can distort under pressure.

While most of us will never venture farther than the deep end of the pool, a helium valve, located on the left hand side of the case, ensures the watch is capable of true deep-sea exploration. It has a water resistance of 3000 meters, confirming this is a true diver's tool watch, and not some pretender. The screw-down crown is ultra smooth and precise, and screws down like a submarine hatch. It is the most solid and precise crown system I have ever encountered.

The bracelet is constructed of titanium and stainless steel with a brushed appearance. The use of SS center links is a brilliant touch, and ensures the watch is properly balanced on the wrist, and not top heavy like so many competitor pieces. Likewise, the clasp is just a beautiful piece of engineering-- the dual push buttons provide a solid closure, and it features fold out diver's extensions on BOTH sides of the clasp. Additionally, there are two half links on each side of the bracelet, ensuring it can be sized precisely to your wrist. This is a bracelet that was ENGINEERED for the watch, not added as an afterthought.

The dial is just beautiful-- it has a depth that speaks to it's deep sea role. The sapphire crystal is 5.3mm thick, and acts almost like a viewing port in a bathysphere. It creates a slight magnifying effect that really must be seen to be appreciated. Legibility is excellent, with 12 patented rectangular micro gas tubes on the dial, marking each hour, and 3 micro gas tubes on each of the three hands. An inner flange is marked with Arabic numerals, marked in integers of ten. Additionally, the bezel features luminous markings as well, making for excellent legibility in low light to allow full functionality of use.

The engine for this deep water denizen is the ETA 2892, self-winding and protected by an anti-magnetic case construction. Moreover, the watch has been subjected to extreme shock testing and is said to withstand a 7500G shock resistance test without any evidence of damage. It is a COSC certified chronometer, a designation earned by a mere 3% of the Swiss watches produced each year. It is running perfectly, keeping near spot-on time!

Lastly, this is a comfortable watch!! Though it looks like a behemoth, the brilliant design with short, down-turned lugs makes it hug the wrist like an old friend, and the crown guard, while imposing, does not dig into the wrist like so many lesser designed divers.

If you have ever wanted to wear the best, this is the one. Sacrificing only to fund another obsession, and I will be sad to see this one go.

95% mint condition, with all boxes, papers, tags, etc. Buy a new one, wear it for a week, and it will look like this one!
